HELP!How can I quickly align the markers with the audio blocks?

In my work, I need to use the function of exporting loop markers. If the audio block I modify is larger than the loop marker’s frame, I have to manually adjust the start and end positions of the loop marker, which takes up a lot of my time. Is there any way to quickly make the loop marker region match the length of the audio block?

I need Picture 1 to quickly become Picture 2.


PLEASE!!

Reading manuals can help sometimes!!

Press P.

I’m sorry, but this isn’t what I’m looking for. Pressing the P key controls the left and right locators, but what I need is a shortcut to quickly adjust the bounding area of the left and right loop markers.

This may be possible with some PLE and scripting.

Not super straightforward though.

Here are some options:

  1. Set Snap to Events and drag the handles. Two clicks.
  2. Create a new marker on another lane via the ‘Event to marker’ keycommand. Batch rename markers via import options.
  3. Same as 2 but rename the audio files from a list.
  4. Figure out a way to use PLE, it should be possible.

Good luck!

Just to add another tool:

-Create a new marker track
-Select all events on your track
-Create markers from selected events (In the Project menu)

You can then use one of the rename functions.

Unless i’m mistaken that is my second option :slight_smile: but better described (i’ll admit my tips are sparse).

To do this, select both the cycle marker and the event and then trigger the following macro:

Transport / Locators to selection
Project / Open Markers
Edit / Invert Selection
Edit / Invert Selection
Transport / To Left Locator
Marker / Set Marker Start to Cursor
Transport / To Right Locator
Marker / Set Marker End to Cursor

Thank you very much for your reply. I haven’t used this function recently, so I didn’t try your scheme, but there is a demand recently, so I’m going to try your scheme. I wrote a macro command strictly according to your statement, but it didn’t work. Is there something wrong with my operation? I look forward to your reply.

Strange. Just tried it again here and it works.

What version of Nuendo are you using? Make sure you select both the cycle marker and the audio event before use. This function will work only if the cycle marker to be processed is located within the bounds of the selected event as shown in your first post. It can process only one single event and associated cycle marker at a time!!

Try adding an extra command at the end to close the Marker window (this is better for repeated use) as follows:

Transport / Locators to selection
Project / Open Markers
Edit / Invert Selection
Edit / Invert Selection
Transport / To Left Locator
Marker / Set Marker Start to Cursor
Transport / To Right Locator
Marker / Set Marker End to Cursor
Project / Open Markers

Thank you very much for your reply. I didn’t expect you to reply so quickly. I checked my macro command again, but it still didn’t work. I guess there may be something wrong with my method of use. Would you please show me the detailed steps of your operation? It would be better if there is a video.

Please provide a step-by-step of exactly what you have tried and how you are proceeding.

P.S. Focus based Macros are not going to work if you are using Divide Track List and put the Marker track in the upper section. The Project window has focus issues when divided. This is the case for any focus based commands. All tracks to be worked upon must reside in the same upper or lower division.

My god, dear friend, my mother tongue is not English, so I need translation software to talk to you. I just found that the translation software translated your help incorrectly. I re-studied your scheme and found that I chose both audio and mark, and then ran the macro command, which didn’t work. I selected the audio separately, and then I ran the macro command, which succeeded! ! ! Oh, my god! ! This has been bothering me for a long time! Your help is very useful! God bless you!

I also want to ask, can I use key combinations to trigger macro commands? So you can operate quickly.

I found this. Thanks again for your help! thank you God bless you.
